        No, one is sufficient. You build something like this:



                        [-]     Nut
                --------------------  Plate
                         =
                         =
                         =      Threaded rod
                         =
                         =
                --------------------- Plate #2
                        [-]     Bottom nut.


        Then you run the rod through the center of the spring (where the shock 
was) and put the plates in between a couple of coils towards the top & bottom
of the spring. Compress it, put it in, bolt the suspension assy. back together,
and undo the nuts on the threaded rod, releasing the pressure in the spring 
slowly.

        Clear as gravy right?
